Photos/videos of WPI, opening week and beyond

[urbantravels]

I'm starting a thread to centralize photos and videos of WPI/CMM as it opens...sound OK?

I found this set on Flickr of the dedication of the CMM (Center for Molecular Medicine,) which includes the WPI, on Monday the 16th:

Podium speeches at Aug 16 dedication, originally linked by omerbasket. No shots of the building.

This is a long video, but stick around (or skip ahead) to about the 60% mark (sorry, I don't see any time code) to see Annette and Andrea Whittemore speak. Andrea at about 85%.

Thanks to every one here for posting these images to share.

History in the making.

If you look for a few seconds at the opening day, the feeling you get can make you cry with happiness.

When was the last time that happened in this illness?!

Go WPI!!!!!!

A CFS centered event that begins with a reading of the political and institutional dignitaries in attendance (including a representative from the DHHS - anyone know anything about Dr. Suzanne Sherer [sp?]?)!

I was starting to believe that I'd never see this in my lifetime.

Thanks Lily! She's not exactly a low level bureaucrat. The NHLBI is a significant arm of the NIH/DHHS.

The above video post has raw video of all the opening speeches, since then someone has posted Youtube videos of Annette Whittemore and Andrea Whittemore:

Here is the promotional video released by WPI upon its opening (I assume this is the same one that was showing in the auditorium at the open house 8/21/2010.)

I've added a new section to the video library on the WPI - do please let me know if I've missed any, preferably by posting the the video library thread...
